Virgil van Dijk was saddened to learn of Jürgen Klopp’s departure at the end of the season. The Liverpool defender wants his manager to leave with his arms full.
When Jürgen Klopp publicly announced that he would leave his post as Liverpool coach at the end of the season, it was inevitably surprise and amazement that spread throughout the small world of football. Present for more than eight years on the bench Reds, the German gave the club a new lease of life, with an English championship title which had eluded Liverpool for thirty years, or even a victory in the Champions League. The news of his upcoming departure also affected his players.
Virgil van Dijk has spoken out on Liverpool FC’s official social media channels. “ It’s not easy to take, the Dutch defender first admitted. He is so important for us, for me, for the club, for the whole Premier League I think. But he made a decision for himself and his family, and it was going to be a complicated choice anyway. And that’s the case. » Then Van Dijk recounted how Jürgen Klopp made his announcement to the group. “ He informed us privately of course, when we were all together. And like I said, it wasn’t easy to hear. »
A few last trophies?
But as a competitor, the player is already looking ahead to the rest of this season, with a little idea in mind. “ Our goal is to stay focused on our work and we have a lot of goals to achieve this season. And why not finish it on top, all together, with festivities for our coach too. » At the top of the Premier League, and in particular still in the race in the Champions League, Liverpool could well offer a few final trophies to Jürgen Klopp before he takes off for new adventures.
